Does anyone here occasionally wake up to a seemingly less stable mental state? That happens to me on occasion, usually after mildly distressing dreams right before slipping from sleep to nominal wakefulness.

This morning, particularly marked. Not wanting to get up today. Want to stay curled up, not face anything. Least of all my decrepit self. Even more least of all my responsibilities. I am weak, lazy, and generally dense. Also my mind is showing ...

Why is there so much stigma in mental illness but not in physical diseases? If someone has Cancer, they receive support, sympathy, care, love, etc. But when someone has a mental illness, they get bullied, targeted, shamed, ostracized, deprecated, etc. It makes ZERO sense. Something REALLY does NOT add up in this defacto standard of the way things are.

How to be nice when everything sucks and you feel like a raging b**** all the time but you can't seem to help it. When things that happened in like 5th grade still haunt you or bother you and hurt you.

When you can't forgive, and you see other people do it and tell you to do it, but your mind can't seem to do that, because the hurt is so unbearable?

To say my family was toxic is an understatement. Sometimes just hearing my full name is triggering. For years I've been playing around with the idea of changing it. Most of my friends are nons, and they say it's a silly idea. Recently though, it's become more appealing to me.

Earlier I was ruminating over the ugly past when I imagined what it might be like, for example, to fill out a form or an ...

I feel like I need to escape my life somehow. I feel trapped.

If I could just become someone else.... live a 2nd life somehow.

I really wish if ...

I been trying to find help emailing psychiatrists for help...none of them seem to bother answering me back for an appointment. I guess maybe I say too much and they don't want to deal with someone who has a history of being hospitalized for OCD, cutter, had failed past suicide attempts years ago, who has anger issues and is verbally abusive. Kind of hurts when you try to reach out to them and they never ...

I survived being trafficked. A part of my abuse had a hate crime element to it. I often get paranoid that random survivors with DID are faking in order to find victims to abuse, or they may actually have DID but are preying on others with the disorder.

Stuff like this makes me feel like I'm not in touch with reality. Anyone else relate?

Hi to all

I've joined the forum as I need to put down how I am feeling, and hopefully get some support, advice, magic bullet or just a chat.

I am a week away from my 70th birthday, still feel 30, married to someone 10 years younger, (who is fabulous), and generally feel miserable all the time.

My life from age 26 to about 10 years ago (34 years) was spent full on, working for ...
